The Effect of Supercritical String Cosmology on the Relic Density of Dark Matter
(2009-06-09)
Supercritical String Cosmology (SSC) introduces a time-dependent dilaton and a central charge deficit into the history of the development of the universe. To balance the effect of the dilaton and the central charge deficit, ...
Effects of Labels on Visual Perceptions
(2009-06-09)
Labels simplify our world by reducing complex ideas into simple phrases. Research
suggests that labels even alter our visual perception to the point that we think images
carrying common labels look similar to each other ...
In Vitro Culture of 'Dog Ridge' Grapevine
(2009-06-09)
Vitis champini ‘Dog Ridge’ grapevine is a potentially desirable rootstock for Texas
grapevines because of its disease resistance. This selection is reported to be difficult to
root through hardwood cuttage as is often ...
Feasibility Analysis of Steam Reforming of Biodiesel by-product Glycerol to Make Hydrogen
(2009-06-09)
Crude glycerol is the major byproduct from biodiesel industry. In general, for every 100 pounds of biodiesel produced, approximately 10 pounds of crude glycerol are produced as a by-product. As the biodiesel industry rapidly ...
The Effects of Behavioral Training on Spinal Plasticity and ERK1/2 Phosphorylation, Within the Injured Spinal Cord
(2009-06-09)
Previous research has shown that even when communication between the brain and
spinal cord has been eliminated, rats can learn a simple instrumental response. If rats
receive shock to one hindlimb when it is extended ...
IMPLICIT MEMORY IN YOUNG ADULTS WITH ADHD: DOES IT INCLUDE A CONCEPTUAL PRIMING DEFICIT?
(2009-06-09)
This experiment explored the distinction between two implicit memory test paradigms:
identification versus production processes and conceptual versus perceptual processes.
These dimensions were crossed to produce four ...
Size, Solubility, and the Serotonin-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: In Search of an Improved Extracellular Domain Model
(2009-06-09)
The 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) is the only serotonin receptor that is not a G-coupled protein receptor. It has been implicated as a contributor to cytotoxic drug-evoked emesis, irritable bowel syndrome, pruritis, schizophrenia, ...
DEVELOPING METHODS FOR ANTAGONIZING TNF-α AND IL-1β IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
(2006-08-16)
Stressful life events have been linked to the onset, susceptibility, and even progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection, a ...
Effects of Pinealectomy on Hypothalamic Metabolic and Clock Gene Rhythms
(2006-07-11)
A neuroendocrine loop model has been proposed for explaining the generation of avian circadian rhythms. The basis of this model is that the circadian system is composed of interconnected circadian pacemakers residing within ...
Organic Matter Analysis of Sediments from Simpson Bay, Alaska using Elemental, Stable Isotopic, and Molecular Signatures
(2008-08-19)
Sediment samples from Simpson Bay, Alaska were analyzed to determine the influence of earthquake events on the accumulated organic matter. Radiochemical analysis of 210Pb activity in the sediment dated the cores and ...
